The internet has become a great way to learn new things and find instructions for just about everything. Unfortunately, in an emergency, while cleaning, or during a baking session, you might not have or want your computer around. That’s why I have a new category and 42 new printable instruction sheets that can be printed out and taped up in important locations for quick, helpful tips at any time. Or, share on Pinterest so others can use them!

During an emergency, a phone call or trip to the internet is likely to waste time you don’t have. But if you have the new safety reference charts already printed out and prominently displayed, you can keep people calm and safe during fires and earthquakes. There are also emergency guides for CPR and the use of fire extinguishers.

If you’re new to doing your own laundry or just want to get it right this time, I have plenty of new clothing charts that feature illustrations of the proper way to tie a bowtie, iron a collared shirt, or fold a pair of pants so they don’t get wrinkled. If you prefer making your own clothes, I also have fabric width and crochet hook conversion charts.

Finally, there are plenty of personal guides for any activity or fast answer you need. Offices will like having the time zone and calendar abbreviation conversion charts, while kids will enjoy the origami, paper airplane, and juggling guides. There’s also a chart for the proper way to fold a diaper, but I doubt anyone will enjoy that.

Overall, there are more than 120 printable guides at SwiftTips.com, and all are available to download and print for free as a PDF file. Before putting them up, I recommend printing them on cardstock or laminating them for maximum durability.

Christmas shouldn’t feel as stressful as it often does; it should be festive and fun. Fortunately, the FreePrintable.net websites have a lot of printables that cut down on planning and correspondence stress while adding seasonal cheer. From letters from Santa to gift certificates to holiday greeting cards, everything is free and easy to print from a home computer.

If you’re a parent of small children, SantaPrintables.com should be your first stop during the Christmas season. With the colorful, fully-illustrated letter templates and samples from Santa, Mrs. Claus, the reindeer and the “magic elf” on the shelf, you can help provide your child with a personal correspondence from the North Pole. Each letter has a topic, and the categories range from religious themes to answering questions to assuaging fears. The site also includes Christmas Bingo and other holiday games, as well as Christmas greeting cards to send to friends and family.

Between SantaPrintables.com and FreePrintableCertificates.net, there are also ways to encourage good behavior in children throughout the season. The latter has Christmas certificates that can be awarded to kids based on if they’re “Nice” or “Naughty.” There’s even one for Lump of Coal—that’s one way to make a point!

I’ve introduced a new site this year called PrintableGiftCards.net. With dozens of decorated gift cards and mini certificates, it’s the perfect way to provide a personalized monetary gift, or to offer IOUs, chores, and romantic favors. Some are even illustrated with Christmas trees and wrapped presents. They’d fit nicely inside of any of the 50 Christmas cards at FreePrintableGreetingCards.net, which are all decorated with pictures of angels, Santas, wreaths, gifts, and more.

Since the holidays are a fun time for kids, I have plenty of templates for teachers to use. These include Santa, penguin, snowman, and other Christmas dot-to-dot pages at DotToDots.net, and nearly 100 variations of Christmas coloring pages at FreePrintableColoringPages.net. Finally, FreeWritingPrompts.net has Christmas writing prompts for essays and creative holiday fiction.

If you’re sending out a Christmas newsletter this year, consider the Christmas letterhead designs at FreeLetterHeadTemplates.net, the holiday stationery at FreePrintableStationery.net or the 33 new snowflake borders at PageBorders.net. Ribbons, wreaths, ornaments, and snow decorate many of them, and they all have festive, wintry colors.

As I said, planning can be a big stress-maker this time of year, so I made sure to address that with the new winter fun and Christmas to-do lists at PrintableToDoList.com, as well as the Christmas grocery list and menu planner at FreePrintableGroceryList.com (there’s also one for Hanukkah!). If you’re planning a big holiday meal, the Christmas recipe cards at FreePrintableRecipeCards.net are great for taking notes. And you can always keep your recipients straight by attaching the Christmas gift tags from FreePrintableGiftTags.net to your wrapped presents.

All of the Christmas printables are available for free to download and print as a PDF file. Some of them also have an editable DOC version, which can be customized in a word processor for a few dollars each.

Happy Holidays, everyone, and happy printing too!

Kids who are looking for fun things to do over the winter holidays can use the 19 new printable games to play cards, dice, or board games at PrintableBoardGames.net.

There are lot of new printable dice designs that can be cut out, folded, and taped along the tabs. A normal six-sided die is available to be used for board or dice games. There are also four-sided, eight-sided, and even ten-sided dice. Those are better for D&D and other tabletop games.
There are a lot of new classic games based on logic, mathematics, and strategy. Many are based on popular Chinese games, such as Chinese checkers, Chinese chess (Xiangqi), and Mahjong. Others include Siege of Paris, Fox and Geese, Nim, and Shogi.

I’ve got a normal deck of playing cards that can be printed on paper with colorful backing designs. I also have another variation specifically for playing Rook.

Every board game at PrintableBoardGames.net is available to download and print for free as a PDF. Alternatively, you can get the whole game collection for only $11.

If you’re an actor, you probably know that choosing an audition piece can be hard. It has to fit your “type” but show off emotional range and usually not exceed four to five minutes. I’ve now introduced InstantMonologues.com, a helpful site that provides free monologues for every actor who needs them.

All of the 26 monologues are free for public use, and the choices include quite a few classics. You won’t have to dig through old scripts to find the perfect comedy monologue from Oscar Wilde, or the best classic monologue from Sophocles or Aristophanes. There are also plenty of dramatic Shakespeare excerpts from various plays, and options from George Bernard Shaw, Anton Chekhov, and Moliere as well.

In addition to the well-known classics, I decided to add a unique and contemporary spin to the site by adding a number of original monologues for children, teens, men, and women of all ages. There’s a genre, style, gender, length, and voice for everyone.

All monologues at InstantMonologues.com is available to download and print for free as a PDF or DOC. Have fun with them, and break a leg!

If you run a business, are looking to drum up new customers, or are just trying to spread awareness of a cause, I have good news. There are nearly 100 new printable papers up at PrintablePaper.net, and while many are devoted to new variations of music pages, more than half are part of a new category made up entirely of brochures.

The new bifold brochures and trifold brochures are bright, full-color, and covered in relevant and informative pictures. I’ve crafted the two formats to cover specific job industries so that all you have to do is fill in the information. There are templates for hotels, child care, modern corporations, churches, massage parlors, and general interest. Many can be adapted for multiple uses across any field.

Anyone who sings, plays an instrument, or composes music knows that there are a lot of formats when it comes to music staff pages. With that in mind, I have 42 new variations. Some are for singers, and those designate sections for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. Some are for specific instruments, such as woodwind, piano, or brass. Many are broken down by how many systems and how many staves are available per page.
PrintablePaper.net has 1,450 forms that are all free to download and print as PDF or DOC files.

Popular forms include graph paper, comic book pages, games, and calligraphy paper. There are even fun templates for 3-D work and knitting. You can download each one individually, but the entire paper collection is available for only $39 as one quick download.

There are now more than 60 new certificates in three different categories up at FreePrintableCertificates.net. I have fun, colorful, and classic designs that cover classroom appreciation, holidays, and monograms.

If you’re a teacher looking to encourage good behavior, there are a number of education certificates that show your appreciation for great student helpers, aides, and monitors. They’re decorated with cute, fun pictures and are perfect as classroom awards.

For more formal or less specific events, there are more fancy monogram certificates. Each one is decorated with a letter of the alphabet that’s flush left along a colorful border. The certificates can be used for really any purpose and look formal and official.

Finally, I’ve added just about every holiday certificate you could ask for in this new batch. I’m covering some major ones, like MLK Day, Veterans Day, and Valentine’s Day, but I also have cute and fun certificates for Earth Day, Flag Day, Presidents Day and more. For religious users, there are also decorative certificates for Palm Sunday, Yom Kippur, and All Saints Day.

I have more than 1,500 printable certificates in nearly 40 categories at FreePrintableCertificates.net for weddings, births, anniversaries, graduations, sports, clubs, bands, and more. They’re all available to download and print for free as a PDF. An editable DOC file is also offered for $5.

You can get the whole certificate collection on a 2-CD set, which is available quickly and easily for only $69.

How does Santa make it to every house in one night? Or get into a house with no chimney? Or know where to find kids on vacation? These are hard questions for parents to answer, so I say let Santa answer them himself. There are now 16 new Santa letters up at SantaPrintables.com that answer questions, assuage fear, and regulate behavior.
The new reassuring Santa letters help kids understand complex concepts. There’s one for children who split Christmas between their separated parents, one for children who are curious about other religions’ holidays, and one that explains why there’s a gift certificate included with Santa’s present. These join the ranks of response letters from Santa about his mall job, tight budgets, new siblings, and more.

SantaPrintables.com offers more than just letters, though. There are also Christmas cards, holiday games, and other seasonal templates. Some of the new ones include signs that warn children not to peek before Christmas, “Naughty” warning cards, and a Christmas countdown sign.

All of the templates at SantaPrintables.com are free to download and print as PDFs, or $5 for a DOC file that can be customized in Microsoft Word or its equivalent.

A lot of people think that expensive products are the best gifts during the holiday season, but any parents who ever had their kid promise to rake the yard or any couples who were treated to a spa day know that pampering is better than toys. With that in mind, I’m introducing a brand new website called PrintableGiftCards.net, which offers more than thirty printable gift cards, IOUs, chore coupons, and gift certificates.

PrintableGiftCards.net primarily provides a tangible gift that represents a thoughtful gesture or action. The Christmas gift cards are decorated with Christmas trees and presents, but can be used to represent any gift, including a donation to charity or an online gift order.

For more personal gifts, there are a number of romance IOUs that allow a spouse to pamper their partner with massages, movie nights, breakfast in bed, or hugs and kisses. These are great for Valentine’s Day, birthdays and other holidays. Kids can get in on the fun with the cartoon chore gift cards for washing the car, doing the dishes, walking the dog, and more.

Overall, there are 33 templates at the new site, all of which are free to print as a PDF or editable DOC file. Each one prints two per page. You simply cut out the card, fill in the “To” and “From” lines, and fold it in half. Ta-da! Your Christmas shopping is done!

Thanksgiving may be a holiday centered on food, but that doesn’t have to be the only way to celebrate. There are a lot of little ways to make the whole season more festive, and to share the holiday spirit with others. The FreePrintable.net websites provide printable stationery, games, recipe cards and other templates for just such purposes.

I’m sure you make a great turkey, or delicious stuffing, or a phenomenal pumpkin pie, so you can share the secret with your family using the Thanksgiving recipe cards at FreePrintableRecipeCards.net. Decorated with colorful drawings of desserts, dishes, and a roasted turkey, the cards add a little color to the meal. The 3×5 or 4×6 lined cards are free as PDFs, while editable versions that can be filled in through Microsoft Word cost $7.

Those who bring a gift instead of a dish to Thanksgiving can use the Thanksgiving gift tags found at FreePrintableGiftTags.net. Featuring full-color illustrations of pilgrims and the horn of plenty, they’re great for attaching to any present.

If you’re looking for a greeting card or just some family fun, there are plenty of Thanksgiving games, invitations, coloring pages, and cards at ThanksgivingPrintables.net. They’re all free to print as a PDF or DOC and cover bingo, word match, mazes, signs, and trivia.

Thanksgiving often includes a drive to relatives’ houses, so keep your kids busy during the ride with the 30+ Thanksgiving coloring pages at FreePrintableColoringPages.net. Decorated with the cornucopia, turkeys, pilgrims, football, and more, each one is free to download and print as a PNG file.

Finally, if you’re a teacher, you can use the holiday season for fun activities.
Have students use the Thanksgiving letterhead at FreeLetterheadTemplates.net to write creative stories assigned with the Thanksgiving writing prompts from FreeWritingPrompts.net. Everything is free to download and edit in a word processor.

Happy Thanksgiving, and happy printing!
